Good review by Will Kymlicka, and reminder that standard of success is not absence of violence, and that success is more widespread than commonly portrayed.

March 23: Letters to the editor – The Globe and Mail.
The Ukrainian Canadian community never sought an apology for what happened during Canada’s first national internment operations of 1914-1920, nor compensation to the survivors or their descendants (Past Wrongs Can’t Always Be Undone – March 21). We asked only that the Government of Canada recognize this historic injustice. That will be done in 2013 when a pavilion dealing with this unhappy episode in Canadian history is unveiled in Banff National Park, complemented by smaller displays at Fort Henry, in Kingston, and at The Citadel, in Halifax, all sites of First World War era internment camps. Our campaign was always about memory, not money.

Labour FM Bob Carr’s Maiden Senate Speech. Some nice language on the richness of diversity.

Tom Flanagan on historical recognition and apologies. Very similar to the Trudeau position; realpolitik has, of course, resulted in a fairly extensive historical recognition program by the Conservative government.

Funny language – ‘unjust racial discrimination’ begging the question, what is ‘just’ racial discrimination.

An interesting take on the US debate over citizenship at birth – from a narrow ‘tax’ perspective.
